FRANK L. BAILEY, OF LANCASTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

DISPLAY-RACK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 24:, 1913.

Application filed June 21, 1911. Serial No. 634,518.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK L. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lancaster, in the county of Coos and State of New Hampshire,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display- Racks, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in neck-tie display racks, andthe object is to provide means for supporting the rack from the wall orshelf over the show cases.

The invention consists in certain novel features of construction andcombinations of parts which will be hereinafter fully described andpointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in side elevation; Fig.2 is a view in front elevation; Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of theclamp; and Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of the clamp.

A, represents a shelf or support, to which arms 1, 1, are connected, andto which bars 2, 2, are connected by bolts 3, 3, two sets of bars beingconnected to each side of the arms 1, the bars being provided withelongated slots 4, whereby the bars can be adjusted vertically by meansof the bolts 3.

A sectional block B is connected to the lower ends of the bars 2, twobars connected to each section. The inner faces of the block sectionsare provided with a groove 5, in which is received an extension 6 whichis connected to the spring jaws 7. A bolt 8 passes through the sectionalblocks B and securely holds the extension 6 of the spring jaws 7 thesectional block B and the spring jaws 7 forming a clamp for supportingthe rack frame C.

The rack frame 0 is provided with two vertical bars 9, one of which isprovided with a lug 10, which is received between the jaws 7 and heldtherebetween by means of the bolt 11 which passes through the jaws fordrawing the jaws together when the nut 12 is screwed up.

Horizontal rods 13 are received in grooves 14: in the vertical bars 9,and are held therebetween by means of bolts 15. The neckties or otherarticles to be displayed are sup ported upon the horizontal rods, andthe angle at which the frame is held with respect to the supportingmembers 1 is governed by means of the bolt 11 and nut 12-that is, theframe can be swung to an angle and held in such position by tighteningthe nut upon the bolt 11.

It was not my intention that the frame should be movable in itssupporting clamp, but it may be advisable in some instances to permit ofthe rack frame being swung upon its supporting member.

The bars 2 are capable of vertical adjustment through the bolts 3 whichconnect the bars to the supporting arms 1, so that the rack frame C canbe held at different elevations.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a display rack, the combination with asupport, of bars havingelongated slots, a block pivotally connected to the bars, a rackremovably supported by the block, means extending through the slots ofthe bars for connecting the bars to the support, said bars adapted to beadjusted with respect to the support through the elongated slots of thebars independently or together for changing the position of the blockand rack.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.

FRANK L. BAILEY.
